Before deleting any customisation it is wise to ensure that a backup copy exists in case it needs to be restored. Customisations can be saved to file by using File > Import\/Export > Export<\/a> and selecting the customisation. Customisations can later be restored by using File > Import\/Export > Import<\/a>. Alternatively, use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings<\/a> Plugin.<\/p>\n The Contents for this article (top right) will take you to the instructions for deleting each type of customisation.<\/p>\n Note that it is also possible to delete most customisations by deleting its associated file from the Family Historian Program Data Folder<\/a> whose location depends on the operating system on your computer. Within this folder there are five folders that contain a Custom sub-folder. The customisation files reside within these sub-folders, and deleting any one of them will delete the matching customisation.

Such Lists cannot be customised, because they are essentially an index compiled from all similar fields in the Project. To remove an entry from the List requires that value to be deleted from every such field in the Project.<\/p>\n To remove an entry from the following lists, its value must be deleted from every associated field.<\/p>\nDelete a Chart File<\/h2>\n
